and look from out the shadow Of a quiet
hour far back into that fiowery, foolish
country, rests one like pleasant dream.
When l let my heart go over 1t again
scarcely visage turns 10 meet me of more
alluring warmth than the oily ebon Inca
mcnts of Uncle Job.
Captain Wheaton, whose fat acres covered
wide space OF highland and rolled down
into SINNERS valley, had brought the hale
old African with him from the war. The
Wheaton place lay with its long and un-
dulating side against my mothers farm,
and with the dusk of the first evening after
their coming we heard the old man n mile
away at Wheaton's barns sending up an
African MARBLE. Mellow and plaintive, like
the soft winding Of a far away horn, but
strange and half uncanny to us Northern
children, it melted across the fields through
the evening stiffness. That night / had a
dream, remember, with which that mellow
singing somehow mingled, and the next
morning being sent to the farther side Of
the .'big field" with a rusty axe to "sproutn
along the division fence saw, with some
trepidation, the ebon singer himself perched
upon the top rail of that vine-wound barrier
smiling down upon me.
.sMawnin', honey" he said in tone that
was wonderfully engaging mighty peart
lam in desc pawtsi ~
After that we were always friends, and
the bluebirds and the criclxets listened with
me TO many song and story through that
dreamy summer as Uncle Job sat upon the
GROWING rail with his thin shanks hanging
down among the blossoms

Listens to the Address of mr. Jacobs
 Last Night at the United Church.
 The meeting at the United church last evening was largely attended by members of all the churches and Sunday schools in the city. The exercises of the evening were opened by prayer by Rev. MT. Munger, after which Rev. H. P. Nichols in a short ad- dress introduced the speaker of the evening, MT. B. F. Jacobs of Chicago, who is the chairman of the international Sunday school committes. MT. Jacobs address was highly interesting and devoted to the explanation of methods for the better teaching of Christi anity to the youth of our country, and in the course of his address said: It is wonderful thing to stand in the presence of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, our teacher and guide, and look forward to the work he has given us to do. For two thousand years before Christ children were not noticed and were given small place. With the coming of Christ there came change, and the child was brought forward and the spirit of Christianity was fostered and developed. The boy must be given good place, for none can tell what he may be and none can measure his possibili- ties. Every boy must be reached, and he can be reached, and one of the best ways to fit him for useful Christian is to train his mind by a course of good instructive reading. Sunday school teachers should be carefully selected for their important work, and only those who have the proper ability should be permitted to explain the words of scripture
 There are IS, ,000, 900 children in the Unit ed States. of whom about 8 S,000,000 are in our Sunday schools, and is it not time we had a second holy crusade and rescued this vast army of neglected ones! ssg
 The speaker dwelt on many other points of Sunday school work, advocating Normal school system for teaching and favoring grades of instruction.
 The choir of the church added to the inter est of the meeting by singing, the solos by Miss Fechter and Mrs. .Binn being beautifully rendered.
 After the close of the meeting Mir. Jacobs held a reception at the United church chapel.
